Default LCA Relocation Bracket Question! Help!

I'm getting ready to buy the UMI LCA's and panhard rod. (both non-adjustable)

Also, just an FYI my car is NOT lowered, and I am not planning on lowering it.

My question is this... should I also buy the LCA relocation brackets... or is that not necessary??

Thanks!

Not necessary, no. Why would you NOT lower the car? Do you not care about looks or performance??

Get the adjustable panhard rod so when you lower, you can recenter your rear. Get the brackets when you lower.

Why would you not lower you car ? you can still pull decent 60ft times on a lowered F-body..

Why won't I lower? I have a couple reasons

1) Clearance. The headers already hang down low enough....
2) I like performance & handling... but I'm not die hard. I've never even ran this car at the track, and I really could care less to ever do that.... just not for me.
3) I like the way it looks now... doesn't look too high at all.
4) Because I can.

They are not just for lowered cars. LCA relocation brackets can aid in traction and eliminate wheel hop.

If you are going to drag race the car, then yes i would get the relocation brackets for sure and set the lca's at 2 to 3 degrees uphill.
